So....the NBA Draft. For my Buckeyes, it was near perfect. For my Pistons.....eh. Not unbelievable.
First of all, my Bucks. Sadly, I missed the first two picks due to a softball game, and even though I knew Greg was a shoe in, I wanted so bad to see it firsthand. My brother taped it though so I got to see it. So great for Greg!! At first, I didn't want Buckeyes to go to Northwest because it's so far, so obviously I was disapointed when Portland and Seattle got the first two picks. But the more I read and watch, I'm just so happy for Greg. Portland is a perfect fit, and he'll get the love he deserves. Just putting on hand sanitizer, eh buddy? ;) Gotta love 'em.
As for Mike, I'm super excited for him. Memphis is a great place to go and he isn't too far away. I've heard that Greg has planned on continuing his education during the summer, and I really hope, for his sake, Mike does too. Even though between what he'll make and what his father makes, money will not be an issue for him, um, ever. Haha. But I think he'll do good in Memphis and will have an instant impact. At first when he declared I didn't think he'd be ready for the NBA, but watching his workouts and hearing him talk, I really think he is. He had a nice suit, by the way. Haha.
Daequan- WOW! I was surprised. Pleasantly surprised, I might add. Good for him! I think Miami is a good situation for him to be in. I mean, playing under Dwyane and Shaq and Pat Riley? He'll be whipped into shape, that's for sure! And I really think the Heat will be super successful again once Dwyane and Shaq heal up.
Ronnie Lewis....hoping to see you sign as a free agent. You have the talent and the work ethic. Prove it to 'em, Ron!!
Pistons....ay yay ay. THREE GUARDS?! Are you kidding me?! I mean, okay, I am in LOVE with the Stuckey pick. Great grab. And I really like the Afflalo pick, because I particularly liked him during the NCAA Tourney. But to get down to Meija and still pick a guard? As of now we have Chaunce, Rip, Lindsay, Murray, Stuckey, Afflalo, and Meija. I'd say we're about full of guards, even if Lindsay does retire. (Please don't retire please don't retire) So why not take a chance on a forward or heck some center? I mean, I understand
Cheik Samb may be ready but still. You know there is NO way Meija is gonna make the team. He even said himself he'll probably go overseas. Whatever. Joey D is a smart guy and I will trust him.
Here's to hoping Ron gets signed, Chauncey resigns, and the
Detroit Lions sign an agreement not to pull an Rasheed and never "GUARANSHEED" anything again!!!!! I mean, it's great to take after a winning city counterpart, and not that I don't think they can back it up but....LET'S PROVE IT ON THE FIELD!!!
